Last week, well on the road to complete recovery, Gaines appeared in person at Chicago before doctors from all over the country, as Exhibit A in a two-day conference on ACTH sponsored by Armour & Co., first commercial producers of the hormone. His case offered the most dramatic evidence to date of the powers of the new drug.

If she "lambs" in spring, she is seldom ready to start again until the following fall. Working under an Armour grant, Professor Frank X.
